Whatever the native accent of the speaker, this easy communication to the listener must always happen in every moment, onstage, in film or on television; in real life too. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book, an introduction to \u003ci\u003eKnight-Thompson Speechwork\u003c\/i\u003e, gives speakers the ownership of a vast variety of speech skills and the ability to explore unlimited varieties of speech actions - without imposing a single, unvarying pattern of \"good speech\". The skills gained through this book enable actors to find the unique way in which a dramatic character embodies the language of the play. They also help any speaker to communicate to a listener with total intelligibility without compromising the speaker's own accent; and to vary speech actions to meet different language needs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSupporting audio provides 116 tracks illustrating the exercises described in the book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dudley Knight\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 140815689X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781408156896\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Methuen Drama\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.00d","brand":"Dudley Knight","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925472477439,"sku":"9781408156896","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_04b37c28-ba30-4d77-98a8-eae285ef4e8e.jpg?v=1681077475","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/speaking-with-skill-dudley-knight-9781408156896","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
